I just purchased one of these based on your recommendation. Got one with the Monte Carlo stock. I don't see any serial numbers on mine. I willl probably do a little trigger work later but am learning to shoot it as is right now. Seems pretty accurate.
I have a 953. I just put a Daisy peep sight on like the one on yours. I am impressed with the accuracy improvement. I can just barely get 50 yards on my property in Tomball. But I can't see that far anymore. I would shoot with you if you were close
I agree the peep sight is surprisingly well made and is accurate! I'm hoping in the future leave Austin area and get a nice piece of land! It would be great to shoot with you as well! Thanks for watching!
CMP offers a booklet explaining how to improve and maintain these rifles. If you slightly ream the hole for the sling swivel you can attach a 1 1/4” swivel allowing to use of the wider loop sling. Enjoy!
@@HangInThereCat “Tom Johnson’s Sporter Tips, Care and Servicing”. I didn’t see it when I was at the north store a few weeks ago. I hope it is still available. Your rifle must be shooting closer to the rated 500 fps than mine. I run out of elevation around 25m.
8:29 that is one lucky spider, oooofff
Oh yeah! hahaa 😀 . Thanks for watching!
Shot tons of matches with one in high school. Ended up going distinguished and p100 in high power. The 853 was the rifle that started it for me!!
That is so awesome hear!!! I really enjoy my 853, especially plinking in the backyard! Thanks for watching, appreciate you!
Awesome! Very well put together, and done. Cheers!
Fine shooting and video work!
Thank you!!!
I've been on the fence about buying one of these but this video pushed me over the edge, just submitted my form .

Awesome! Is the CMP booklet online? or buy from the CMP store? Thanks for the tip! I do prefer the 1.25" wide slings!

@charlesmckinley29 Thank you!!
Great Shooting. I want one of these, do you just print the order form and send it to them or do you have to be a member of CMP ?
Thanks! Yep filled out the form and emailed directly to them 👍 Got the air rifles in about a weeks time!!
